My only acquaintance with
Watership Down is the movie...which I saw maybe 26, 27 years ago. (Gasp! Could I have made myself feel older?) Even so
Tales from Watership Down was easily understood and enjoyed. Part I of
Tales is composed of stories told around the warren by different rabbits and Parts II and III are stories that pick up where the last left off. Part II is the continuing story of El-ahrairah and Part III are stories about the Watership Down rabbits after their settlement.
Favorite Quotes:
"You don't need to impress your people with more great struggles and journeys. You've done enough. They already love and admire you as much as is good for them or for you."
" ...'that pestilential fellow with a face as long as a rook's beak...' "
Overall Opinion:
The Part I stories were nice enough, but the book got better when it felt like there was a continuity to the stories and a flow that you could follow.
